Reread: Tavi and the Bones Under Her Skin

Read-aloud: The Steadfast Tin Soldier

1. Read “The Steadfast Tin Soldier” aloud. If your child asks to hear it again, say yes: hearing a story twice is how it sticks.
2. This is an old tale, told for a long time. Afterward, ask: what did someone in the story learn?
